Songs of Sacrilege: Man in the Box by Alice in Chains

Written by

This is the ninety-third installment in the Songs of Sacrilege series. This is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a song that is irreverent towards religion, makes fun of religion, pokes fun at sincerely held religious beliefs, or challenges the firmly held religious beliefs of others, please send me an email.

Today’s Song of Sacrilege is Man in the Box by Alice in Chains.

Lyrics

I’m the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Won’t you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you’ve sewn them shut

I’m the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won’t you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you’ve sewn them shut

This is actually the opposite of the song meaning, according to the writers. What a lame site.

  This series makes no interpretative claims outside of suggesting certain songs have lyrics that might be viewed as sacrilegious. These songs are chosen by the readers of this blog, not its author.
  
  As far as this being a lame site . . . the four people who read this blog agree. And they only frequent this site because I post nekkid photos of Santa.
